Character Interview With German Practitioner Micheal: The Mighty Power of Music Composed by Falun Gong Practitioners
2004-03-29Micheal is a 37-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner from Germany, who has sung touching songs one after another for more than a year now. Using music, he has told people about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. His music’s subjects are very vivid ranging from the opposition of the persecution of Falun Gong; calling for people to rescue imprisoned practitioners and suing Jiang Zemin. -
Exposing the Chinese Consulate's Shady Meddling In Overseas Chinese Students' Organizations
2004-03-29Recently, at the election for the president of the University of Minnesota Friendship Association of Chinese Students and Scholars, (hereafter referred to as MUFACSS), the Consul of the Chinese Consulate in Chicago, Jiang Bo, and his assistant, Chen Jiacai, used underhanded tricks to prevent a third year undergraduate student, Falun Gong practitioner Wang Xiaodan, from selection. -
Following Teacher on the Path of Fa-Rectification
2004-03-28At the same time, I also witnessed and heard about many other practitioners’ miraculous phenomena. Many had suffered from terminal illnesses, or illnesses that were hard to diagnose and hard to cure; yet they miraculously recovered and became healthy again. These are all mysteries that cannot be explained by modern science. People find these amazing phenomena beyond belief. Every day, there were more and more people beginning to practice. I also brought the wonder of Falun Dafa to my family: my two daughters and my grandson all obtained Dafa. My friends also obtained Dafa after I introduced Dafa to them. -
Getting Rid of Attachments While Clarifying the Truth Over the Phone
2004-03-28I also tried making phone calls but had never been really involved since in most cases when I called they usually hung up or cursed at me. Then, I didn't take this as an opportunity to improve myself. On the contrary, my common people's mentality rose up. I regarded it as a setback and made up a pretext that I had other clarifying-truth jobs to do to cover up my attachment of not having the courage to pick up the phone to clarify the truth. By acting in this manner, I had lost time due to my hesitation and fear. Then, when I did make an attempt, I could not pick up the phone as if the phone were very heavy. -
Remembering That Buddha Once Begged for Food to Save Us
2004-03-27One day, Sakyamuni traveled to a seaside village to beg for food, a little girl suddenly ran towards him and mischievously put a handful of sand into Sakyamuni’s begging bowl. His disciples were very angry at the little mischievous girl, but Sakyamuni accepted the sand in a very pleasant manner. Later, Sakyamuni explained to them that the girl would be reincarnated as a Chinese girl and become a Chinese Empress. If Sakyamuni didn't accept her offering of sand, she would destroy Buddhism in China when she became the empress. -
The Innermost and Sincerest Appeal of Italian Practitioner Alfredo: “This Persecution Must Be Stopped!”
2004-03-27Every time when I sang, I had to go to the mountains. Otherwise, my friends would complain about it. However, when I heard about the training session at Rüdesheim, Germany, I felt a strong desire to attend. I was very happy to attend the training. I have changed my everyday people’s notion about being good or bad at singing. It is because I sing with my heart and I sing on behalf of Dafa practitioners. Therefore, I am able to sing in a very tranquil and peaceful manner. I sing as a bass in the choir. -
Pay Attention to Conforming to the Ordinary Environment When Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts
2004-03-27It is very good for Falun Dafa practitioners to remember to send forth righteous thoughts at set times daily. However, except for those times when we are in front of Chinese Embassies, I think we should pay special attention to conforming to the specific environment we are in at the moment. At the very least, our actions should not cause misunderstanding or cause the people around us to have a bad impression of Dafa. -
Letting Go of Selfishness and Melting Into Falun Dafa's Teachings
2004-03-27My wife and child also practice Falun Dafa. Compared with our fellow practitioners, our income is quite good. However, our tendency is still to put more money into our savings and use less money for validating Dafa. We hope to lead a comfortable lifestyle and to cultivate Dafa at the same time. We address the solemn responsibility of Dafa practitioners with the mentality of ordinary people. This is like wanting to become enlightened without letting go of our attachments. Of course we should do our best in the ordinary human society without going to the extreme. However, the basis of this mindset is selfishness. -
A Lesson Learned from the Folk Tale of Nanny Wang Burning Incense
2004-03-26With the enlightenment from this story, I dug out some deep rooted and dirty attachments. For instance, I pay too much attention to my appearance. I often thought that if I have good complexion, it would help me clarify the truth of Falun Gong to people. However, deep in my heart there existed the attachment of showing off. See how well I have cultivated, my skin is healthy and delicate. The more I became attached to it, the worse my complexion became. -
Let People around the World Know that They are the True Victims of the Persecution
2004-03-26We should help people learn that the persecution of Falun Gong is in essence destroying human nature since it targets human being's virtue. Therefore, the persecution is destroying people. We need to let them be aware of the principle of the cosmos that good will be rewarded with good. We need to tell them that bad things happen when people have no virtue. They'll then come to realize that they are the true victims of the persecution. Then they'll have proper thoughts towards Falun Dafa and be saved. -
A Brief Record Of Experience Sharing Before The United Nations Human Rights Conference In Geneva.
2004-03-25US practitioners mentioned that practitioners in Canada and North America regularly hold large group gatherings in different cities. Beside this, practitioners in every exercise site are also keen on group Fa-study and experience sharing. Because they emphasise group Fa-study and experience sharing, they can not only enhance as a whole, but can also avoid conflicts between practitioners, so that they can fully exert the power of the whole. Therefore, practitioners can successfully accomplish the goal by mutual coordination, even though there are many specific items for truth-clarification and they lack manpower. -
Bringing Compassion and the Truth of Dafa to People
2004-03-25Before becoming a Dafa practitioner, she once wrote a poem entitled: “I am a child of the universe”. The poem goes: “I am a child of the universe, who forgot her own home; I am a guest on the Earth, and a guest of the world. What is the best gift for the guest…” As soon as she encountered Falun Dafa, she immediately realised that Dafa was the best gift for her. -
Dafa Practitioners’ Clarifying the Facts with Righteous Thoughts Inspires European Policemen
2004-03-24At first, some of our practitioners were kind of nervous because; they are decent citizens and had never been treated like this in the past; moreover, they were shocked at this occurrence as Falun Gong has been awarded and commended in many peaceful countries. Nonetheless, through reminding each other, we soon thought of our responsibility as a Dafa disciple, our reasons for coming to Paris and of the urgent things we should have been doing at that precise moment. Therefore, we adjusted our own mentalities quickly. -
A German Falun Gong Practitioner’s Impressions of the Events in Geneva
2004-03-24I am visiting Geneva during the 60th session of the Commission on Human Rights, the annual UN human rights conference. Many Falun Gong practitioners visit Geneva at this time of year for a reason: to call attention to the human rights violations committed against Falun Gong practitioners in China. Today, practitioners will man five information booths, located at different locations in Geneva, to inform Geneva’s residents and visitors about the persecution of Falun Gong in China, a persecution that has already caused hundreds of deaths. -

2004-03-23Participants benefited from the rich and valuable experiences shared by practitioners and they also benefited greatly from the proposals that were a result of the collective thoughts and the process of encouraging practitioners to overcome difficulties and attachments and join the great tide of the Fa rectification. They deeply felt that it was worthwhile making the trip.
